Answer: The present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that in 4 years, Harry’s age will be the same as Jim’s age is now. In 2 years, Jim will be twice as old as Harry will be.
We are to find the present ages of Harry and Jim.
Let x and y represents the present ages of Harry and Jim respectively.
Then, according to the given information, we have
[tex]x+4=y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y+2=2(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)[/tex]
Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get
[tex]y+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow x+4+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow 2x-x=2\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.[/tex]
From equation (i), we get
[tex]y=x+4=2+4=6.[/tex]
Thus, the present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.

The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio of 5:7. what is the measure of the smaller angle?
Final answer:
To find the measure of the smaller angle with a ratio of 5:7 in two complementary angles, set up an equation based on the sum of 90 degrees, leading to a solution where the smaller angle measures 37.5 degrees.
Explanation:
The question asks to find the measure of the smaller angle when two complementary angles have a ratio of 5:7. To solve this problem, we recall that complementary angles sum up to 90 degrees. Since the angles are in a ratio of 5:7, we can denote the measures of the smaller and larger angles as 5x and 7x, respectively.
By combining these ratios, we have 5x + 7x = 90 degrees, which simplifies to 12x = 90 degrees. Solving for x gives us x = 90 / 12 = 7.5. Therefore, the measure of the smaller angle is 5x = 5 × 7.5 = 37.5 degrees.

77.20
on renting the meeting room.
What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?
Use
t
for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for
t
.
thank you for your help =)
31 + 6.60h <=77.20
6.60h <= 46.20
46.20/6.60 = 7

What is the correct evaluation of 3x2 + 4x - 2y2 + 4y + 5, when x is equal to -1 and y is equal to 5?
The expression 3x^2 + 4x - 2y^2 + 4y + 5 evaluates to -26 when x = -1 and y = 5.
Explanation:The evaluation of the expression 3x2 + 4x - 2y2 + 4y + 5 when x is equal to -1 and y is equal to 5 is calculated by substituting these values into the equation.
First, substitute x = -1 into 3x2 + 4x, which gives 3(-1)2 + 4(-1) = 3 * 1 - 4 = 3 - 4 = -1.Next, substitute y = 5 into -2y2 + 4y, which gives -2(5)2 + 4*5 = -2 * 25 + 20 = -50 + 20 = -30.Add up the results from step 1 and step 2, and include the constant 5 from the original expression to find the final result: -1 - 30 + 5 = -26.Therefore, the correct evaluation of the expression when x = -1 and y = 5 is -26.

The answer to your question would be 2x^2+4x+6
Answer:
[tex]\text{The quotient is }2x^2+4x+6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the dividend and divisor we have to find the remainder using synthetic division.
The given polynomial [tex]2x^3-2x-12[/tex] is divided by (x-2).
Step 1: Set up the synthetic division.
The dividend goes on the inside of the box.
Step 2: Bring down the leading coefficient to the bottom row.
Step 3: Multiply c i.e 2 by the value just written on the bottom row.
Step 4: Add the column created in step 3 and write the sum in the bottom row.
Repeat steps 1-4 until the last column.
From the last row the remainder becomes
[tex]2x^2+4x+6[/tex]

y=2/3x+1 and y=-2/3x-1
which graph shows the solution to sylvie’s system of equations?
a) graph 1
b) graph 2
c) graph 3
d) graph 4
Answer:
solution is (-1.5,0)
Graph 3
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x+1[/tex]and [tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x-1[/tex]
In the first equation [tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x+1[/tex]
slope = 2/3 and y intercept is 1
Lets start with graphing y intercept +1
then we slope , move 2 units up and 3 units to the right. stop at (3,3)
Now we graph the second equation
[tex]y=-\frac{2}{3}x-1[/tex]
slope = -2/3 and y intercept is -1
Lets start with graphing y intercept -1
then we slope , move 2 units down and 3 units to the right. stop at (3,-3)
both graph intersects at a point (-1.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:
A family paid 28,800 as a down payment for a home if this represents 16% of the price of the home find the price of the home
divide the down payment by the percentage
28,800 / 0.16 = 180,000
the price of the home is $180,000
28,800 ÷ 0.16 = 180,000
So the price of their home is $180,000.
